95 corolla gli or 95 civic esi

[jasprit]

civic na lng bro naka civic kami dati 94 model esi walang problema basta alaga ka lng ang pinalitan lng namin dun ay brake shoes at sypre change oil. At pag na pag isipan mong i-set-up madali lng pormahan yan gwapong gwapo yang esi simpleng lowered at skirts lng. Mas malakas pa makina i remember our's reaching 200kp/h with 4 passengers.

both are very good cars. i also like the corolla, but my experience suggests the civic.

reliability>> deuce
parts availability>> deuce
maintenance cost>> slight edge to corolla. meron parts na mas mahal sa civic, meron din naman mas mahal sa corolla.
engine>> bihira ka makakita ng civic na mausok... civic
consumption>> deuce
riding comfort>> civic... especially if you're driving. di ka lunod.
resale value>> hands down civic. of course, assuming both are in good condition. i had my 94 civic sold for the fmv price of other 96-97 2nd hand jap models...

great views guys! its really making the decision tough for me. while i am leaning towards the ESI, maybe i will let circumstances dictate my choice, ie. availability of both models once i do my search. thanks again.

my vote goes to the ESi. for one, mas magandang pormahan.
yun nga lang maintenance wise, mas mahal sya.

I go for Ae101 Corolla GLi

ive just noticed that the ESI doesnt have a front grille. i think it would have been sportier kng meron. anyway, still thinking about it...hehehe

ingat na lang sa overheating problem ng esi. usually the culprit is the thermostat. tinatanggal to ng mga mekaniko as a quick fix resulting to not so smooth cold starts.

corolla. the 95 esi looks too old already.

ESi better driving view

Please correct me if Im wrong, pero parang i read somewhere that the esi civics were prone to rust sa roof nila?
